The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient And that's a profile in cowardice

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

Sent an e-mail to my reps about the Discord leak and I'll be sending out a letter about it soon too: complete with printed articles and other things. I hope y'all will consider doing the same! Takes about 5 minutes once you have the e-mails and you can just keep them in a notepad to use each week.

Hi, am drunk, satisfied, and heading home from a night of slutting it up, AMA~

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

It's in the US and knocking at the door in the UK (already here for minorities).

Help out my buddy Tur!!! His streams are mad fun!

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursion—and indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.

ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide. From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXRm...

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools. Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in. Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

Wanna help me escape hell? I'm doing my first Mooving Fundraiser on Friday October 24th, starting at 8AM CDT! It's gonna be a 12 hours, with plenty of horror themed games to play and giveaway! Every little bit helps, even if yall just tune in to hangout. 🎃🐂

It's always weird that, after you have pegged someone to already be a pathological liar who lacks the maturity to properly conflict solve, you get some tea on new things that end up confirming he's a pathological liar who lacks the maturity to properly conflict solve. Kinda... just weird.

REPOSTS APPRECIATED Hey gang, I'm in dire straits: my car didn't pass inspection & the repairs are too costly to justify fixing. I don't have any emergency funds to make a down payment, so I'm doing a lock-up fundraiser b/c I don't have another way to get to work vv Rules below vv ko-fi.com/zayzid

Time moves on and so does the nature of storytelling. The written word emerges to tell tales of civilization, of the earliest kingdoms and empires, of great deeds and terrible disasters. The world may not be so young, but the stories are no less compelling. www.tfpublishing.com.au/store/in-the...

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

🧪This is really good explainer of how Trump's tariffs will affect the price of imported #cancer fighting drugs and others. Staying alive will cost double. Copays will double. Premiums will increase. This administration is getting expensive. IG-@AWARENESS_ADVOCACY_CHANGE @njunp

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

It was only two weeks ago when we first saw an ICE agent unholster his sidearm at Broadview. Since then, there have been many reports of agents directly pointing their guns at protesters. The escalation is escalating.

"--if you wish to see a virgin on-screen--" My good bitch, only a fucking *weirdo* cares about an actor's virginity when they're playing a character on-screen. Hell, we usually don't care about a *fictional character's* virginity unless it's critical to the plot. What a *fucking* weirdo.

I find it *fascinating* that some younger local furries are now hosting queer events in a space that was... *very* unkind to a previous kink event that used to frequent its basement before COVID. I give it a few more months until they find out the people managing the space may not be allies...

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

And this is why we should be as vehemently against shit like ChatGPT as possible. A genuinely sad article, about a genuinely sad circumstance. I highly recommend you give it a read.

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.

As some of you know, for 4 years I've been working on a book about the last 80 years of popular culture as a flashpoint for the gay rights struggle. Sometimes I've wondered who it's for. Then yesterday a young gay man, maybe 23, asked me if Stonewall happened because everyone was in NYC for Pride. >

NEW: California is on the verge of passing nearly a dozen bills supporting queer and trans rights—if Newsom doesn’t veto them. In our latest, Mady Castigan (@madycast.com) talks to trans people impacted by the bills as well as politicians who wrote them, and explains how you can pressure Newsom.

Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

This analysis of DOGE cuts is a perfect distillation of what Trump and his cronies prioritize. Less enforcement of white collar crimes, less support for education and healthcare, but lots more xenophobia. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The WaPost claims it's all about personal freedom now. Why aren't we seeing stories about how Ellison and Thiel pose fundamental threats to core American freedoms?

“Educators have the right — and responsibility — to teach the full complexity of human biology and identity without fear of censorship or retaliation. Students deserve honest, accurate education that prepares them to understand the world as it truly is, not as some wish it to be.”

BATH BOMBS ARE SO BACK Y'ALL!

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Jane Fonda relaunches the Committee for the First Amendment, a free speech initiative originally spearheaded by her father, Hollywood icon Henry Fonda, in response to the rise of “McCarthyism” during the 1940s.

I wish I could find the post, but someone on here recently pointed out that the elite pundit addiction to Twitter is distorting their worldview even further. They really think America is far more right-wing than it is, which requires ignoring actual data. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/the-right-...

They see music, art, and film as nothing but a shortcut to influence. Media that has gained influence or popularity, like pop music and its appeal to teen girls, is viewed with contempt. They are simultaneously repulsed and allergic to feeling anything but the euphoric high associated with cults.
